PSD Senator Carlos Viana Defects to Bolsonaro in Brazil Presidential Race

Carlos Viana, PSD candidate for Senate in Minas Gerais, publicly endorsed Flávio Bolsonaro for president in the first round, abandoning his party's nominee Ronaldo Caiado. This signals fragmentation within the PSD and bolsters Bolsonaro's coalition ahead of the vote. The move may influence undecided voters in Minas Gerais, a key electoral state.
